Jayson Prentice just emailed me these pics of our test flight and test of the dropsonde in Nebraska on May 24th this spring. The TWISTEX plane is a 73" wingspan, 10lb electric powered R/C plane that can loft up to 2 lbs of payload including the dropsonde seen above as well as video and digital cameras. This is the plane we used to do an aerial survey of the Quinter, KS wedge tornado of May 23, 2008.
